🔳 Session 2: CSS Art

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) style the web. But in addition to adorning websites, did you know that pure CSS can be used to create art?

Examples:

• UrbanDecay Naked Palette by Anna Lytical
• Dutch Baroque Paining in CSS
• Ikko Tanaka
• Responsive CSS Grid Books

⭐️ Tonight's goal: Make CSS art on CodePen

We recommend using https://codepen.io/ for fast development, but you are also welcome to use an environment of your choice.
